cutting


Question Posted Friday August 26 2005, 11:36 am

i have been cutting since 5th grade, im going into 9th now. I don't want to stop because i love the way it feels, and its the only thing that helps me to forget the things i dont want to have to remember anymore. Ive tried stopping before but i physically can not do it. Im so attached to it. But, i cant get caught anymore, and i hate the scars i have all over my body. can anyone help me..?

you have to get the professional help.. there is no other alternative. i thought i could do it alone, but i only made myself worse. talk with a therapist, and they will get you the help you need. dont wait, talk to someone NOW, please.. get the help you need!!

See now, I've cut before but my parents found out and shipped me off to an institution.
And that's what turned me around.
Sometimes the only way to get out of a problem is to let yourself hit rock bottom.
I know you're going to hear this a lot, but really you should start counseling and writing things out.
Ways to ease off is to get a red marker and just draw little stripes, and red food coloring to make it realistic.
Snap a rubberband when you feel urged. Or pinch yourself.

Yeah. Sorry if this all sucked.

The best way would be to stop or go to a group thing after school. My ex boyfriend used to cut and he went to a support group after school. I went with him and it helped him a lot. He's no longer cuttting. Maybe if your a female, put coverup on it but be careful. It may sting. If you're a guy put some windex on it. lol. Good luck! Hope I helped!

NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK TELL YOUR PARENTS!!!!!!!! If they know about it they can give you the help you need. If they understand that it's an addiction for you then they would most likely get you into counseling and help you and monitor you so that you don't do it any more.

As for the scars you could try some of the new products out in stores that help to lighten them or even get rid of scars, but there's no point in getting something to hide the scars if your only going to be putting more scars and cuts on your body

Wear a rubber band around your wrist and when you feel you need to cut just snap it helps to stop or you could draw the cuts on your arm instead

good luck

If you hate the scars than you need to stop...cutting doesnt make things bettter it just puts them aside for that moment..i know its really hard to stop cutting cause i have done it before and to tell you the truth i dont even know how i stopped. The sad part is your goin to get deeper and deeper and deeper each time you cut and soon enough its goin to hit a vain and bang you will be gone...do you really want to kill yourself?....you need to get help asap..a school counselor a teacher a parent a friend anyone! if you dont want to do that than take all sharp things and throw them out and everytime you want to cut scream into a pillow( i know it sounds lame) or take a hair elastic and put it on your wrist and pull it and let it go...it helpes you to stop cutting...

just know this your not also hurting yourself your hurting people around you, my bestfirends did it and i went home and i balled for hours

another thing you can do is when your angry go for a run and when you get more angry run faster and faster and when you come home you will feel better!

hope this helped and keep me posted please=)

if you really have been cuting for that long you should ask someone for help
a friend
a teacher
a parent

you will get caught people will find out


i had some friends who cut once they didnt get hurt to bad becuase i told thank god i told then becuase i was afiird they where goign to kill themselfs you dont want to end up like that do you ??? do you really want to hurt you and every one around you ??? what would happen if you died ?? your family wouldnt kno what to do ........ listen i kno it's hard but you think it helps you forget the thing that you dotn what to remember but the truth is when your done you will remember everythig again ! it's liek smoking crack, you forget what you want to forget for awhile but as soon as you done it all comes back to you ! listen whatever your doing this for cant be as bad as what has been happening to me for year now with my parents geting devorsed, my dad leaving my mom for a slut hoe, my mom having to work 2 jobs , my mom being deploied to germany during the war thats goign on for 2years my sister having to go to the hospital for surge and a bunch of other stuff... but have i cut once no! you need to suck it up and talk to someone about it ! thats what i did i went to consling to a year becuase my life was crashing faster then a car reck so you dont need to do it , you dont love the way it feels! if you really want to stop you would have the will to stop,, so if you really want to just say to ur self what am i doing with my life and why the heck am i doing this!!! if you can tell people on this website im a cutter then you can go and tell your parents or your firned so u can get help

please listen to me becuase i kno what im talking about

mickey543 answered Friday August 26 2005, 12:30 pm:
ok to be honest i did that too but i didnt cut with a razor me and my "freinds" called it carving we would take ne thing sharp and carve whatever we want in to oour arms and backs and legs and it would look like a huge red mark soo i would just keep doing it and doing it untill it started to bleeda dn soo i got help from one of my freinds who didnt "carve" or cut she said to just replace it with a hair tie ok a rubberband so now whenever i get a feeling i want to cut or carve i just snap a rubberband on my wrist i kow that may not sound very healthy but it is a hell of a lot better than having scars and shyt so i hope i helped

yes you should definatly go to a therapasist or counsiler.
i used to cut too, so i tried getting more involved in sports. i started to take the pain out when i ran(by running long distances without stopping) It took my mind off of cutting, and i stopped.

good luck i know you can do it:-)

oxispeakwhalexo answered Friday August 26 2005, 12:13 pm:
Ok, well im not going to lie about this. Ive cut myself before, but i realized that cutting doesnt really take away all those bad feelings inside you. It just makes them worse. How does it make them worse? well, your friends (the ones that dont cut) nage at you and make you feel worse about yourself because they notice the cuts, and then your family nages at you and that makes it worse. And besides when you get older and you decide to have kids, they're going to ask you about all your scares and how you got them. SO if i were you i would stop! And in stead of cutting talk to someone about the problems in your life. It will make you feel much better! i promise you!

Hope i helped!!!

Well first you need to go to somebody like a counselor. Like for example in Degrassi(a show) a girl name Ellie will always cut herself cause her mom. so she went to a counselor cause of a friend. Now whenever she feels like cutting herself she uses a rubberband. So I am telling you as a friend that to go to a counselor or use a rubberband as a replacement to your cutting.

well, wouldnt you want to be able to deal with pain the correct way? wouldnt you want to be able to get through this cutting thing ? no more scars or blood..getting back to being healthy. you have to have to have to contact a professional..a therapist or something. there are places sort of like rehab for children 18 and under you can go to..they are there for behavior probs,cutting,alcohol and drug abuse, etc.
i think the answer to not getting caught and not having scars all over, is to get help. end this. you can pull through. be strong.others are going through the same thing you are.
much luv,
meliss
